Default Stock amp output?

Hey, out of curiosity does anyone know what the stock amp's wattage output is? I tried to search it but couldn't come up with anything.

I know a lot of guys are running kicker's IB 10" in the deck and it handles 50-150 (which is more than an acceptable range for our amp i would assume) but i realized i didn't really know what it put out. If it puts out any more than 150 i may have to reconsider my purchase.

What do you mean reconsider purchase? You want even more powerful than 150?

well i'm debating on the kicker but if the stock amp doesn't put out enough, i'll have to skip it. But, if the stock amp puts out more than 150 than i'll have to get a sub that handles more, infinity makes one or two that take up to 350 RMS

I doubt that the stock amp puts out more than 50 watts.

yeah haha that's what i'm trying to figure out. I mean the kicker handles between 50-150 RMS and i think 300 max, and I have a feeling that even only at 50 watts the kicker would easily outperform the factory sub, just because of the design. haha damn i shouldn't have sold that rockford 201s i had.

I doubt it's even 50w. I would bypass the stock amp for two reasons, weak wattage and ohms stability.

Precisely correct that is the way I would go as well.
